Once the entities have been selected, you can apply this style to the geometry by either:

  • Double-click the color or the color icon at the bottom of Task Manager.
  • In the lower part of the TaskManager, click on the color or color icon and then on the "Add appearance .

It is possible to replicate the drag-and-drop functionality in SOLIDWORKS:

    • In the lower part of the TaskManager, select the color or the color icon, then drag and drop the appearance onto a function or element directly in the creation tree.
    • In the lower part of the TaskManager, select the color or the color icon, then drag and drop the appearance onto a shape in the active document:
      • Either apply it based on the preselected filter.
      • Either use the SOLIDWORKS popup menu to filter the geometry .
    • In the lower part of the TaskManager, select the color or color icon by using the "Alt + Drag and Drop" shortcut to drag the appearance into the active document -> The SOLIDWORKS Appearance Editor opens automatically in the PropertyManager.


 


If no geometry is selected during "Drag and Drop," the appearance is applied:

  • For all documents in the "Document" category.
  • To the entire assembly for active "Assembly" documents.

A property can be created when a color is applied to a part (see Options).
